~ An EICR Report (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a thorough inspection of the electrical system in your property. Valid for 5 years for rental properties, our expert electricians can provide same-day EICR services, helping landlords quickly renew their electrical certificate on short notice.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) evaluates the condition of a property’s electrical system. It examines the wiring, fuses, switches, and sockets to identify any damage, wear, or potential hazards. The report also includes recommendations to improve safety.
For homeowners, it’s recommended to have an electrical safety check every 10 years. However, as a landlord, you must have your EICR renewed every 5 years or when tenancy changes. Failure to comply could result in a fine of up to £30,000. Don’t risk it—call our expert electricians today for your EICR!
Our electricians begin with a visual assessment, followed by a series of checks to evaluate your electrical systems. The goal is to spot potential hazards, and the report categorizes findings with the following codes:
If we find C1 (dangerous) issues, we will address them immediately to ensure tenant safety. C2 (potentially dangerous) and C3 (improvement recommended) issues will be noted and estimated separately.
While action is mandatory for C2 issues, taking action on C3 recommendations can prevent costly damage or deterioration in the future. Landlords are required to complete remedial work within 28 days of the inspection and provide written confirmation to both tenants and the local authority.
After the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report and an estimate for any necessary remedial work. While paperwork may take a few days to process, we strive to complete all EICR reports as quickly as possible.
At EPM, we perform a range of electrical safety tests to ensure the safety of your property and its occupants. These tests include:
To ensure it meets current regulations and is equipped with necessary circuit breakers and RCD protection
To confirm all electrical systems are properly earthed, preventing the risk of electric shocks.
Ensuring all metal pipework, radiators, and gas meter installations are properly bonded.
To verify all wiring is correctly installed and all electrical components are safe for use.
If your EICR highlights C1 (dangerous) or C2 (potentially dangerous) issues, you are legally required to fix them. Landlords must complete remedial work within 28 days and provide written confirmation to tenants and local authorities. C3 (improvement recommended) issues are not mandatory but addressing them can help prevent future electrical hazards.
The duration of an EICR inspection depends on the size and condition of the property. For most rental properties, it takes between 2 to 4 hours. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report and estimate for any required remedial work, ensuring your property remains safe and compliant.
